About Netball
At Loreto College, we have one netball team that is managed by an experienced coach. The coach conducts high-quality training sessions aimed at enhancing the students’ technical skills, tactical understanding, teamwork, and enjoyment of the sport. Our goal is to positively represent the college during competitive matches.
Trials take place in September, information regarding trials will be given on enrolment.
